Estimate preliminary concrete volumes and straight-bar reinforcement weights using editable, inspectable spreadsheet formulas.

Download free Excel betaSee how it works

No account or payment required. Beta for learning and early-stage quantity checks.

Concrete volume

Enter dimensions and quantities for rectangular slabs, foundations, and beams.

Rebar weight

Estimate straight-bar mass from diameter, cut length, and number of bars.

Editable workbook

Review formulas, replace sample inputs, and adapt your preliminary takeoff workflow.

How to use the beta

  1. Download and open the workbook in a compatible spreadsheet app.
  2. Check the sample entries, units, and formulas.
  3. Replace sample inputs with your own quantities.
  4. Independently verify all outputs before use.

Scope: rectangular concrete quantities and straight rebar only. No bends, hooks, laps, wastage, drawing takeoff, structural design, or code compliance. Not certified; do not rely on it for safety-critical decisions or final procurement.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a structural design tool?

No. It calculates preliminary quantities, not member capacity or reinforcement requirements.

Can I use it for construction ordering?

Not without independent verification and project-specific allowances. The beta omits several material and detailing factors.

Is a paid version available?

No. This is a free evaluation beta; checkout is not active.
